About the Book
In the thoroughly revised Second Edition of Premodern Japan, acclaimed Japanese historian Louis Perez breathes new life into Mikiso Hane’s beloved and historically rich account of early Japanese history. This edition offers a fresh perspective, tracing the pivotal developments in the premodern period of Japan, from the establishment of the imperial dynasty to the deep influences of China and Korea. It highlights the rise of the samurai class, the formation of feudalism, and the enduring cultural and societal impact of the Tokugawa period.
Perez also integrates the cultural and intellectual shifts, focusing on the rise of Confucianism and Shinto nationalism, while providing a thorough analysis of the end of Tokugawa rule. Unlike traditional histories, Perez emphasizes not only political developments but also the social, cultural, and religious currents that shaped Japan’s premodern landscape. This thoroughly updated edition provides readers with the most current scholarship, making it an indispensable resource for students, historians, and anyone passionate about Japanese history.
